Oh, I'm sorry I didn't hear you knocking! We were busy making fondue and eating baguette in the 'cusine.' Come on in!Welcome to Paris (and our apartment)! This is the hallway, on your right is the toilet. No, its just a toilet, here in France it's very common to have two half-baths. And on your left you'll see antique maps of New Jersey, a little touch to make Dave feel at home. We really like the floor tiles (they're over 100 years-old!)!
Just down the hall, on the right is our 'cuisine.' It's small but it has a 'lave-vaisselle' and a 'lave-linge,' no dish washing or taking our clothes to the 'laverie' (though we have to use a drying rack)!On the left is our 'salle de sejour' take a look around while you put your bags down. It's a a good size (though perhaps it looks 'un peu petit' from this angle)- space is at a real premium here in Paris so it's great to have room to spread out.
Yes, it's always this clean, you think we run around cleaning like crazy before we have guests? Heh-heh. And we've been informed that the 'canapes' are comfortable to sleep on (thanks for testing them out, Liz and Katie!).
Finally at the end of the hall is the 'chambre' with the 'salle de bain' off of it. I know the room is very orange but it works quite well. Umm, the 'salle de bain' isn't really part of the tour, but what are you looking at, you ask? The bidet? Remember, this is France, after all!
Why don't your freshen up, maybe get a quick nap and we'll take you around our neighborhood and help you get oriented? :)
hmmm. Is that a door handle in the middle of the door that i see? Definitely think you two should bring a taste of france with you when you come to visit IL! yum! Actually i've been quite entertained while trying to think of a variety of meals to eat since i'm on a soft foods meal plan due to a jaw issue. i'm also dog-sitting for friend Miriam (u-high alum friend of mary's :) and entertained as the dog is sleeping away quite comfortably on my pillows and quilt. what can i say, i'm a softy! Looks awesome! i'll work on that nap thing and look forward to finding out more about the neighborhood...
